Reena’s Xploration Challenge #420

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Welcome to a creative retreat, while the skies burn with firepower and spring is in the air.

PROMPT #420

I came across a personification quote.

“An optimist is the human personification of spring.”
– Susan J. Bissonette

I quite liked it, so I generated a few more with the help of AI.

“Hope is the sunrise that refuses to stay asleep.”

“Resilience is the green shoot breaking through stone.”

“Change is the river’s way of teaching us to dance.”

Your task this week is to use any of the above quotes as a theme or backdrop for your piece. Let us see how Hope, Resilience, or Change look like and dress in your story.

There is no restriction on the length or format of the piece. There is no last date unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.

We will not include any posts that are found to be offensive, vulgar, or that hurt ordinary sensibilities. This needs to be a safe space.
